What Is Bolt Seals-www.gcseals.com
Bolt seals are applied without the use of tools,but will require a bolt cutter to be removed.Some bolt seals are manufactured with an extra hardened bolt,which prevents them from being removed by a bolt cutter.Instead these types of "super hardened" bolt seals are removed by a specifically designed "breaker bar".
Other types of bolt seals are manufactured with a flexible bolt,rather than the traditional rigid steel bolt.A flexible bolt brings a lot of advantages that are unique to the flexible bolt seal.A flexible bolt,once removed,will not penetrate and puncture truck tires,and therefore many larger truck companies or large distribution centers prefer a flexible bolt.The flexible bolt pin is somewhat easier to remove by use of a bolt cutter or cable cutter,and therefore is the preferred bolt seal for high volume usage situations,where terminal operators are required to remove many bolt seals each day.Flexible bolt seals are also very useful in a situation where a locking latch on a truck trailer door has been bent out of shape,preventing a rigid bolt seal from being applied.In this situation a flexible bolt seal is much easier to apply.
